[OOC] General

Mar 9, 2025 12:25 am
Hi everyone, welcome and thank you for joining my game!

We'll be using this thread for out of game discussions and questions and any other general chat. For quicker responses, it's okay to use Discord as well. I have the habit of switching back and forth.

As advertised, I imagine there might be players with differing experiences in play-by-post, as well as in different game systems. I'll be making a point to explain everything in more detail as I go along, at least at the start, until you're reasonably confident about how we're proceeding with this game.

Thanks for the invitation!

Yes, thanks for the invitation! I'm excited to have my first borg experience. And I'm looking forward to playing (and dying horribly) with everyone for the first time also.

A character sheet is up in the Resources section. I welcome attempts to make it better or prettier if you're so inclined!

Welcome to the crazy random range of OSR style rolls! It ain't D&D where everyone starts with the same point buy, but I understand how it might be less enjoyable to feel disadvantaged from the start.

I'll make a judgement call on how to balance things up if necessary. But do note each class starts with different stats, they aren't meant to be equivalent, just like their various abilities and equipment aren't equal.

If I could play a monkey with my first set of rolls that would be rad.

Remind me my Paladin who rolled a 4 in her dexterity in DnD 5e, stats were rolled osr way. Was super fun to play someone limping and fumbling in full plate.

Lets keep our stats Joms and stick together in our failure. :D

Yeah, you don't have to be fast to be fun to play! We got you!

Having lived through Kandahar I can say with certainty you must be quick, or you will die in a warzone. Even in a battlefield of simplicity.

What can I say? Bonus points on the monkey art for sure! :D

There is no reason I couldn't play a monkey who teaches people who observe him the path to the ultimate truth. And that he has a scroll tied around his would add both mystique and charm.

I'd invite this character over to a new Usagi Yojimbo game, which I've long considered running too! Happy to get in on some anthropomorphism. (In fact, my GenLab Alpha game is currently short of players: only two PCs, an ape and a deer, are currently left).

Also, no rush to confirm that leprosy, there's an affliction table waiting to be used when the time comes!

I submitted my PC. Haven't done background since it sounds like we are going to do that together.

I wanted to use this as my avatar pic but decided Rain is too fine featured for Kage no Shima.

Oh I wouldn't anthropomorphize it. There is no need. It would be far more interesting to just play a monkey.

I am going to make this character have a vigor of 2. He is ready willing and able to die for the cause. And when he does his student will replace him.
